WANT TO HEAR THE PRAYER GIVEN BY ‘DUCK DYNASTY’ STAR WILLIE ROBERTSON AT SUNDAY’S NASCAR RACE?



“Help us to always look to You for the answers in life.”

Jonathon M. Seidl, TheBlaze — If you’re an avid fan of the A&E hit show “Duck Dynasty,” you know that faith and prayer are as important to the Robertson family as good cooking and beards. And you can be sure it’s something the clan takes seriously all the time (Phil Robertson’s new book makes that very clear). So it should come as no surprise that one of the show’s stars, Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson, was invited to give the opening prayer at Sunday’s NASCAR race in Charlotte, NC.

Below is a video of the prayer, which seems to have worked — despite a camera cable snapping mid-race and flying into the crowd, only minor injuries were reported:

While Willie was sure to mention the Oklahoma tornado victims in his NASCAR invocation, the cast of the show took time recently to offer up a more detailed prayer in a YouTube video that already has over 100,000 views. While we mentioned and embedded the video in a story over the weekend, we thought it appropriate to include it again:
